Kabbage Potluck 2021

Today we had a potluck at work! We had a variety of sweet and savory dishes, and surprisingly lot of Asian dishes as well. On the savory end, we had everything from dil carrots & gnocci to pineapple fried rice to sushi and dumplings to vegan chocolate cookies to panna cotta and cake.

Potluck Spread

Group Shot - all the chefs & bakers!

I am not much of a cook, so of course - I baked! I baked a funfetti cake with homemade fluffy vanilla frosting! I had never made frosting before, but I got LOTS of compliments from my co-workers who ate it straight, so definitely a crowd pleaser!

Here is the recipe I used, which is very simple and the perfect amount for the bundt cake i made w/ plenty of extra.
